Renewables at the current levels of technological efficiency can make this much difference.

In environmental circles, we often hear that, rather than shifting to renewables, we are continuing with business as usual.

But if that's it and that becomes the reason that renewables don't get invested in, then, long-term, we're screwed anyway, right?

Renewables are no longer a fringe activity.

Well efficiency and gas can displace them all at just below their operating cost and, combined with renewables, can displace them more than 23 times at less than their replacement cost.

But that blackout risk disappears, and all of the other risks are best managed, with distributed renewables organized into local micro-grids that normally interconnect, but can stand alone at need.

However, especially where regulators are now instead rewarding cutting your bills, the investments are shifting radically toward efficiency, demand response, cogeneration, renewables and ways to knit them all together reliably with less transmission and little or no bulk electricity storage.

Renewables is one of the leading ideas for how we could get off our 90 percent fossil-fuel habit.

So here come some renewables.

So whichever of those renewables you pick, the message is, whatever mix of those renewables you're using, if you want to power the UK on them, you're going to need to cover something like 20 percent or 25 percent of the country with those renewables.

I love renewables.

So here's a summary so far: All renewables, much as I love them, are diffuse.

And that means, if you do want renewables to make a substantial difference for a country like the United Kingdom on the scale of today's consumption, you need to be imagining renewable facilities that are country-sized.

So by this particular metric, nuclear power isn't as intrusive as renewables.

But the same goes for renewables as well.

Well, the options are, I'd say, these three: power renewables, and recognizing that they need to be close to country-sized; other people's renewables, so we could go back and talk very politely to the people in the top left-hand side of the diagram and say, "Uh, we don't want renewables in our backyard, but, um, please could we put them in yours instead?"

In the next five or six years, they will likely move from around 20 percent in renewables — wind, solar and so on — to over 33 percent, and that would bring California back to greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to where they were in 1990, a period when the economy in California would more or less have doubled.

Here, Nightingale's coxcomb was the inspiration to organize data on thousands of federal energy subsidies, scrutinizing the lack of investment in renewables over fossil fuels.

Cost of renewables, insulation, microgrids and smart home technology are all decreasing.

The projections for the future are even more dramatic, even though fossil energy is now still subsidized at a rate 40 times larger than renewables.

Wanting to be a green country powered by renewables is already part of our story.

It has renewables that it can afford to deploy in Germany because it's rich enough to afford to do it.

When we look at the EIA's projections of coal burning in India, India will supply nearly four times as much of its energy from coal as it will from renewables.

China's building 800 gigawatts of coal, 400 gigawatts of hydro, about 200 gigawatts of nuclear, and on an energy-equivalent basis, adjusting for intermittency, about 100 gigawatts of renewables.

They would be investing billions of dollars in renewables.

The beauty of hydrogen is it can come from so many different sources: it can come from fossil fuels, it can come from any way that you can create electricity, including renewables.

So I spent a week trying to learn everything I could about industrial-scale batteries and the electricity grid and renewables and the economics of all of this and whether this was even a feasible proposal.

So, right now, it's a little bit difficult to switch to renewables and stuff, right, but it can be done.

Fossil fuel usage is down 60 percent per unit of production, due to efficiencies in renewables.

No, the success will come if enough people are motivated to do exactly the same in their daily life, save energy, go to renewables.
